We loved their beautiful little owl and barn owl. We heard lots of wild owls calling and one group even saw one flying. If you have any pictures please do share them with us. And THANK YOU to everyone who donated so generously. We covered our costs for the evening and will be able to put on another owl prowl in the future (if people want another one next year?).

I am going to try and use this website more to keep people who don’t tend to use social media updated. Now autumn is on it’s way there is no better time to get out there and enjoy our beautiful woodland which Brislington Brook flows through. Our steering group meeting on Wednesday 3rd October will be planning for Saturdays 6th October’s “BIG DIG” volunteering event. We will be undertaking the second phase of the pond renovation in Nightingale Valley and we need all the hand we can get to make it a really productive work party. If you know anyone who might want to come along, grab a spade, and get stuck in then please do share our event details.
